2 OR 3

 

I probably should look it up in some Bible

commentary – but then again I probably won’t.

Psalm 62:12 goes like this, “One thing God said

twice I have heard this:  power belongs to God, and

your’s, O Lord, is kindness; and that you repay

everyone according to their deeds.”

I probably should look it up in some Bible

commentary – but then again I probably won’t.
  

Psalm 62:12 goes like this, “One thing God said

twice I have heard this:  power belongs to God and 

you Lord are kind - and you repay everyone 

according to their deeds.

Is that the 2 or 3 things to look at when it comes to

God?

 

1)   Power,

2)   Kindness,

3)   Judgment.

I don’t know.

Yet it’s a powerful text to consider and pray with.
 

I hear your power every day God. Yet I also hear 

your powerlessness.

 

All I know is I’m in a vastly different and totally

lower place than you, God – when it comes to

power.

I can’t control anything – what others say or do or

how this day will go. I can’t even control myself.
 

Help!
 

So yes – you are God. I am not.
 

Yet, You are so powerless too – giving us freedom 

and creating this world with its infinite changes

totally rolling around all day.

Kindness – that’s different.  We both can do that on

– on a daily basis.

 

And judgment?
 

Yes I guess every night, we face judgment – on

what we are and didn’t do today – whether we

exercised or didn’t exercise – and whether we loved

one another – and as a bottom line  we do have the

power to be kind.
